With the top of the cabinet, I only had to add a bottom piece of plywood and paint the entire thing with chalk paint. The new base made it so sturdy, it won’t ever fall over! Which was exactly what I wanted to make sure of, before it went to the new owner!

If I would have had room in my house, I 100% would have kept this piece. I’m so in love with it. I will say that when I do this kind of project again, I will not use the wax. Wax hates me. You can get the same benefits from a poly and they come in matte, satin and gloss… so there are several sheen options.
